Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 202 201. Madame Butterfly
Nogami Inosuke's practice is indeed hard, so his body has the instinct to perform moves.

Lan En in front of him seemed to have lost his posture because of [Deng Li], when the empty door was wide open.

Although he is still a little confused, the instinct of the body has been expressed by the blade.

[Ashi Mingliu·Deng Li] is a sword technique that gradually disintegrates the enemy's posture while blocking, and what follows is——

【Ashi Mingliu · Carp】!
Lan En's armor made Inosuke unable to win with one blow, and his body instinctively chose to further disintegrate the enemy's posture.

【Xia carp】is a stance that continues to disintegrate the opponent in the form of fierce attacks after bouncing back the blade fluently.

Mingren Wei compared this kind of swordsmanship to a carp rushing down a waterfall.

But after Inosuke used this move instinctively, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Is the speed at which his posture disintegrated...too fast?"

The young warrior's eyes widened in astonishment, intersecting with Lan En's delighted eyes.

Although it was the first time he had seen this kind of swordsmanship, his instinct as a son of the emperor made him quickly absorb the nutrition of this knowledge.

And up to now, although it is still unclear how this kind of swordsmanship is achieved, but in terms of the cracking method,
He almost has a clue!

The tall body seemed to be receding naturally because the blade was bounced off.

But it was this seemingly natural leaning back that allowed Inosuke to swipe the blade of his hair across the hair.

With a single swing of the sword, the young warrior must regain his energy to maintain his state.

While Lan En took advantage of this gap, the boots of the external plate armor were twisted hard, leaving a deep depression on the green soil floor.

A spiral force is transmitted upward from the toes, integrating the strength of each joint along the way, making Lan En's body like a big recurved bow!

Stretching is energy storage!The spiral is to store power!Until the power is released from the tip of the sword!

"when!!!"

Inosuke tried his best to return to the defense, and finally took the time to block the blow.

The huge force distorted the samurai's facial expression, and he was even cut off with his feet off the ground in a defensive posture, and was pushed backwards and flew out!
Until Inosuke stabbed the tip of his knife into the dirt ground, he still left a hideous sword mark on the ground, staying five meters away!

And when the samurai regained his strength and raised his eyes to look at his opponent, he only saw a standard head-on slash!

"His posture... has recovered?!"

Inosuke was dumbfounded at this moment, and the shock he received was even worse than being chopped off by Lan En!

A swordsman who saw [Deng Li] for the first time broke his move within 2 minutes of fighting? !

And at the corner of Lan En's mouth, the smile is becoming more and more cheerful.

His cracking idea worked.

In the gap between the battles where there is no time to send, he uses a huge move at one time.

I don't need you to break my posture. When I use big moves, I can't maintain it!

But after the blow of this big move, returning to the normal state, this process is basically completely under his own control.

And the stuttering feeling given by [Climbing Carp] has almost disappeared from a "break and then stand".

The astonishment in his heart caused Inosuke to lose his standard. He reluctantly raised the long knife in his hand, and forgot to use any sword skills at all, but simply resisted.

Sword fighting, from another perspective, is a fight for chance.

An excellent swordsman, the more disadvantaged he is, the more he has to think.

A person like Inosuke with such a confused brain, who only cares about supporting the present and doesn't want to follow up with the coping methods, just leads himself into the pit of failure.

But luck seemed to favor the young warrior.

Lan En's samurai sword in his hand had already been cut open after the big move of wrath just now.

And when he slashed at Inosuke head-on, his footsteps seemed to go a little too far.

It was the gap in his knife that led to the intersection with the blade that Inosuke was struggling to resist.

There was a crisp sound of blade breaking.

Inosuke, whose head was already in a daze due to the huge pressure, watched a sharp blade fly into the sky, then fell obliquely, and plunged into the soil.

The scene fell into silence for a while.

"Oh? It seems that I lost. The same weapon really can't beat you, Mr. Nogami Inosuke."

The calm and sincere words changed Lan En's feeling from fierce to gentle.

"Uh-huh?!"

Even the Tsukiyo hair on the young warrior's head was slightly scattered, and he regained his senses suddenly.

He saw that the samurai sword in Lan En's hand had been cut short, and his still intact blade was touching the front of his charging chest.

"You won, Inosuke-sama."

Lan En repeated it with a smile, then got out of the fighting stance and straightened up.

"You accurately grasped the gap on my blade, and your observation skills are admirable."

"You are!"

Yi Zhisuke opened his mouth dryly, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Whether he instinctively pointed the blade at the gap just now, he didn't know.But he was very clear about how confused his mind was just now.

With that kind of chaotic thoughts, he can still seize the chance of victory. He thinks he doesn't have the ability.

But since the other party has given him a step down, it is better not to be too troublesome for the sake of his reputation as a warrior.

After a little hesitation, Nogami Inosuke pursed his lips and announced loudly.

"Lan En has already survived forty strokes! He is the one with the highest martial arts among the ronin!"

When talking about Lan En's "surviving" tricks, Inosuke said it was a little difficult, and he still felt ashamed.

But the witcher himself seemed very calm.

Don't offend people when you first arrive in your place. This is a practical principle.

Although he didn't know if Nogami Inosuke was the kind of person who couldn't afford to lose, he didn't want to take the risk.

Moreover, he himself has acquired new knowledge of swordsmanship in the confrontation just now, so the verbal victory or defeat is not worth caring about.

Nogami Gensai took over after Inosuke announced the result.

"Everyone, please go back to the castle town for repairs. Supplies that meet the specifications and the first batch of rewards for this month will be distributed tomorrow. A live chicken will be sent there tonight as a celebration for everyone passing the assessment today. Please feel welcome."

The rogues who passed the examination hurriedly left, preparing to return to the longhouse.

And until Lan En's figure completely disappeared at the corner of the manor wall, Nogami Gensai, who had been watching his back, spoke to Inosuke without looking back.

"Can you recall, just now, the state after the man swung down vigorously, Inosuke?"

"I'm so sorry, my lord, I can't do it."

Nogami Gensai ignored Inosuke's obviously ashamed answer, and spoke to himself.

"That guy took a breath on the surface, but the hand holding the knife didn't feel unstable due to a short burst. Only a person like me who has held a sword for a lifetime has confidence in this. Do you know what this means?"

"The subordinates know."

The corner of Inosuke's mouth twitched slightly.

A steady hand means that the knife was not an explosive technique used by the opponent. It was normal!
And if that kind of power is actually Lan En's normal state, it means that from the beginning of the sword-fighting stage, he can use his strength to destroy himself!

"It seems that you now understand what role you have recruited, Inosuke."

From the eaves of the house in the courtyard, an old female voice suddenly appeared.

inserted into the conversation between the two.

Nogami Gensai, Inosuke, and the several samurai behind them didn't look surprised, but instead bowed slightly in the direction of the voice as a matter of course.

"Master Butterfly!" *N
On the eaves, there is a skinny old woman with withered hair, walking around with her legs crossed.

Smartly dressed, with a short cape draped over his shoulders.In his hand, he was playing with a thin and long kunai that shone with cold light like a toy.

But unlike her relaxed movements, her face seemed to have lost all emotion, and it was frozen from beginning to end, making it hard to see through her thoughts.

"Stop talking nonsense."

She waved her hand to the people under the eaves as a return of greeting.Those sharp eyes were fixed on Inosuke.

"Now, let me tell you about him."
